Participating in endurance sports can be a major undertaking for a lot of people and without the right expertise and support things can go pearshaped quite quickly. That is where ‘GO’ can assit, by providing information to help you avoid many of the common mistakes & pitfalls that can occur throughout the program and therefore ensuring it is a more pleasing process in reaching your goals.

Swim Smooth Hamilton was established in September 2015 with Russell seeing a need for quality adult swim squad sessions directed at triathletes, open water swimmers and the recreational swimmer in a safe open water and pool environment. Swim Smooth Hamilton offers a professional service, progressing swimmers’ fitness, technique and skills, as well as encouraging individuals of all levels to achieve their aspirations. Located at Fastlane Fitness's Pool in the central city of Hamilton we provide regular weekly squad sessions as well as 1-2-1 video analysis sessions for those looking to improve their swimming technique.

Ironman NZ 2016 - Post Race Report

Russell,
I wanted to give you some feedback on the video analysis session you provided me a couple of months ago.
Since doing the video session, I have noticed a marked improvement in my time/100m. By implementing only one key change to my technique (concentrating on the catch and not overreaching) my time has gone from averaging 1:32/100m in a 50m pool, to 1:28/100m, which is a 4sec improvement without any additional physical effort. Whilst you pointed out a number of other things I should do, I immediately noticed a difference time wise by adjusting something as simple as my catch.
Thanks for your expert guidance here and I would highly recommend that anyone who is serious about swimming go through this exercise. If you’re about going faster (without any additional effort) it’s worth the investment.
Thanks again,
Brendon
